times go very fast and I'm sure that all we have some old but still nice design which are not design for today's tricks.Do You fly it or there are in kite-bag-history?I think it is better to spend time with kite which can do all things which You like....but pitty... some nice kite in our kite bag can't follow today's trick and there sleep in some dark space....best to all in 2011 and smooth windsboris

I have one oldie that I will always hold on to and that's the Tramontana 2000. Love the kite to death.

If you consider the NikNak, and the ProDancer SUL Oldies, then I have those too. I fly the ProDancer almost always when the wind is next to nothing.

Most of the time I'm either out with the Ocius Series, the Mongoose Series, or the Mamba Series. But I'll pull out the tram once a month or so and fly it for about 3 hours or so. Still love it. I got to borrow an old Phoenix by David Bui, and Overdrive, Overdrive SUL, and a Tica over the summer, and LOVED them! Much to my suprise, the Tica will hold WAY MORE then it's own in the trick catagory. Cometes, Backspins, MultiLazies, JL's, Taz's. etc. Was a nice suprise

i stay away from kites which are specific and when I out i always need to learn it again and again. So i fly regular kite and Utopia and Tohuwabobu are great but they teach me something which you canT use for regular kite. They hurt my sense and I learn tricks wrong with them. Pitty there a so nice but I dont fly them

A lot of old classics are in my A bag. I fly them a lot of time together with modern ones and it's a pleasure.As soon as wind drops down Vapor or Ozone are suddenly out of the bag, floating in the sky, but I can't resist to fly also a Prophecy, Illusion, Eclipse, Elixir, Total Eclipse or even a Radian

I guess I am old school all the way . everything in my bag is 20 plus years old and thats all I fly , I am looking to get a trick kite this year sometime , Never have gone down that road and looks fun for a change but I jut feel a kite should fly and not be in a stall all the time . its cool for a while but gets old quick to me , Kind of like #d RC flying . shoot I even have a set of Kevlar lines and Sky claws in my bag

I'm another Allen Carter-type. I have exactly 2 modern tricky kites, a Frenezy and a Cesium. My usual go to kites are PBSKs, usually a Stiletto, a Warrior, a Bad Boy, and occasionally a moXie, (I know, the moXie was Peter's "modern" kite, but really, it's on the fence) I'm flying Revs a bit more, and by design they're all old school, although my go-to rev is now a B-series. I like kites that make me look good, at least to myself

Gee-whiz nobody carries any of my ancient - but very fine oldies 4 Pizazz (es) - one of which is a vented sul. 4 M2s These kites had fine designs way ahead of their contemporaries. I turn to them when I get bored with the latest and greatest.
